The Girl Who Healed

August 15

"Nova," Hermione called shaking her best friend awake.

"Fuck off."

"Nova," Hermione persisted.

Today was Harry and Nova's wedding. It started in twelve hours and Nova was refusing to wake up.

After Game Night, Nova had taken a potion. The potion she planned on taking the first time she took the following morning. She and Harry decided to wait a few years before welcoming a child into the world.

"Bitch, get out of bed!" Ginny yelled, ripping the covers off of a sleeping Nova. "You need to wake up."

"Let me sleep," Nova groaned as she curled into her pillow.

"No," Fleur said levitating Nova from the bed. "It's your wedding day-"

"That's not for another twelve hours!" Nova whined.

"And you need to get ready!" Hermione stated.

"Who the fuck needs twelve hours to get ready?" Nova demanded.

The doors flew open and Minerva McGonagall walked through. Her emerald green robes billowed behind her and her face was stern.

"You do," She said. "Now quit your whining. You're getting married today. Are you to tell me you aren't excited?"

Nova crossed her arms from where she was suspended in the air.

"Of course I am!" she stated. "I'm just tired!"

"Maybe you shouldn't have stayed up reading a book you know by heart," Ginny scoffed.

"I didn't intend to!" Nova objected. "Reading calms my nerves. I only meant to read one chapter. One lead to two. Two lend to three and so forth."

"We haven't got time to waste!" Hermione said as Fleur slowly lowered Nova to the ground. "In the tub you go."

"Theo," Draco hissed. "What the bloody hell is that?"

A lone black bear rolled on the floor happily with a pink tutu around it's waist.

"The ring bear," He said as if it were obvious.

Draco ran a hand through his blonde hair before pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Teddy is the ring bear," Blaise stated.

"No, Teddy is a child," Theo said with complete confusion, furrowing his brow.

"No. Teddy is the person carrying the ring," Draco stated.

"Then why the hell did you tell me to get the ring bear?"

"We meant to go grab Teddy!" Blaise exclaimed.

"He's right there!" Theo pointed his pale finger at the boy on the floor.

Slowly Draco and Blaise turn to see a purple haired Teddy Lupin playing with a black bear. Their eyes widened in absolute horror.

"So . . ." Draco began. "I value life. We should definitely not tell Nova we let her child play with a black bear."

"Agreed."

Harry, Neville, Ron, Bill, Charlie, Fred, and George all sat in one of the many rooms at Potter Manor. Harry was pacing back and forth.

"What if she runs away?" Harry fretted. His suit jacket was not buttoned up as he ran a hand through his hair. "What if she says she doesn't love me? What if I mess up my vows? What if I tied my tie wrong? How do you even tie a tie?"
